It was a beautiful day for sail boat racing, and power boating, today on the Severn River. The morning started off with an 8 knot southwesterly and four races were completed sailing off Triton Point. After a brief lunch break, the wind clocked right to a west north west direction allowing six races to be held in the river. There were six protests and one breakdown request filed. A huge thanks to our team of coach jury members who heard the plethora of protests: Catherine Shanahan, Zach Runci, Johnny Norfleet, Charlie Lomax, Bradley Adam, and Quentin Chafee. Racing will resume tomorrow with some sporty conditions forecast!
You have to love it when a forecast is accurate. Today was a 18-15 knot northwesterly. The decision was made to leave the FJ fleet ashore, so the format for racing switched to 2-on-2-off. Thank's to the help of several volunteer coaches who operated two extra safety boats, four races in each division were able to be completed. No protests were filed and one breakdown was awarded for a broken hiking strap that was deemed to be necessary today. Congratulations to the St. Mary's Seahawks for winning the 2018 Truxtun Umsted Coed Showcase!
